Credit Suisse CEO Brady Dougan has had a dynamic career on Wall
Street, and in a recent interview with OneWire's Skiddy von Stade, he
gave some advice on how young people can do the same.

"Take advantage of opportunities; try to be very open to new
opportunities; try to find new opportunities," Dougan said. "This
industry is constantly recreating itself."

In an
earlier OneWire interview, Dougan, who will step down
from his position as Credit Suisse chief later this year, said
that change is the most consistent thing about the industry and
that, as the pecking order on Wall Street shifts, opportunities
will present themselves for young people.

"If you look at the people who’ve done really well in the
industry over time, a lot of them started off by getting into an
area that was small – was just at
its very beginnings – and really
developed and grew it," Dougan said.

He began his own career in derivatives at Bankers Trust in
Chicago and led that bank to become one of the top players in the
field. Because it was a relatively new area,
Dougan said, he didn't need to be well-established in order
to succeed, as long as he was smart, quick, and able to innovate.

"One of the best things that anybody can do is to come to you and
say, ‘Hey, we’ve got this business that’s broken – it needs fixing. Would you do it?’" Dougan said.

"It allows you to show that you can actually build businesses,
fix businesses ... It’s what creating value for your institution
is all about, and that’s obviously what makes your career move as
well."
